Stay the Course

Somedays you will wake up and be completely unmotivated.  The day before, you were roaring to go.  Now, today it's flat.  You worry about your own sanity.  You worry about being able to keep going.  "Oh," you think to yourself, "it was just another failed attempt" or "here I go again, circling the drain."

Effort moves in waves.  Inspiration comes and goes.  But you need to stay the course.  For no other reason than wandering off will lead to more negative feelings, and more defeat.  Double down on what was working.  Do a little more of that.  Take a small rest, and then get back to work.
